I borrowed another member's picture to quickly do a photoshop job. Think this is even worth considering?

If you could keep em polished they would look great. Just keep the raised areas polished. Probably the best way to do that would be paint. I was thinking about doing this, just having a hard time getting my hands on em cheap

Found one on cardomain.

Pretty hot, but I suspect it works better with black than alloy.

If you left the spoke edges and lip polished and blackened out the center, they'd look an awful lot like Konig Beyonds.

werd...not everyone has alot of cash to throw down. I think this would be an inexpensive way to impove upon a factory wheel. I have a friend who is considering it for his Fusion, too.

the pics in the original post are BLAUGHGGHHH, though

If you like darker wheels it would be a cost saving approach. I love black wheels so I think it would look pretty good.
